What is the maximum cutting width of this saw?

Can I perform bevel cuts?
Yes, the saw blade can be inclined on both sides up to 47 degrees for versatile bevel cutting.
Troubleshooting
Saw does not power on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the saw. Check if the safety lock-off lever is engaged.
Inaccurate cuts.
Verify that the turntable and bevel angles are set correctly. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the length guide is properly aligned. Check the LED PCL for correct calibration.
Poor dust collection.
Empty the dust collection bag and clean any blockages in the dust scoop and extraction port. Ensure the dust extraction system is properly connected and functioning.
Blade is binding or cutting slowly.
Check if the saw blade is dull or damaged. Ensure the correct blade type and size are being used for the material. Verify that the workpiece is not excessively wide or thick for the saw's capacity.
